March of Robots 2016 Wrap-Up

March of RobotsrobotMayaKeyshotZBrush

Another March in the books! This was my third go at Dacosta Bayley's March of Robots and I managed to get 27 'bots out the door, which is a personal best. A few days got skipped due to client deadlines, but that's how it goes when you're freelancing.

Day 2. The arcade cabinet bot was a favorite around the house.

This year I tried to push the materials a bit more instead of falling back on the same painted metal look. Some of these are straight out of Maya and KeyShot, a couple were roughed out in ZBrush first, and the arcade cabinet was basically an excuse to model a joystick.

Another one from the set.

The whole set is up on the March of Robots 2016 project page. Huge thanks to everyone who left comments on Instagram throughout the month, it really does keep you going when it's 11pm and you still haven't started the day's bot.
